[ THE WORK // GERRY & SEWELL ]

Gerry & Sewell.

Two lads from Gateshead. One season ticket. A shot at the impossible.

CO-PRODUCED WITH NEWCASTLE THEATRE ROYAL

Gerry and Sewell have nowt. Nowt but the burning desire to get their hands on a season ticket for their beloved Newcastle United. A love letter to the city. A universal story of perseverance, loyalty and hope. Live music, puppet dogs and the magic of Wor Flags. A wild, funny and heartfelt tribute to black-and-white dreams.

Based on Jonathan Tulloch's novel The Season Ticket and the cult film Purely Belter. Written and directed by Jamie Eastlake.
